Poietic generator – Home edition

This is an unexpected discovery: the poietic generator can also become an object, a piece of furniture or a painting! How I found it? Simple: for a long time, I used an old PC to continuously display the overall picture of GP for technical purposes. Then, the PC is dead. Then a friend recommended me to use a Raspberry PI to replace the PC. Eureka! Suddenly the screen and raspberry PI assembled together become a single object that I first left lying on my table, then I hung it above my fireplace. Since then, whenever someone draws on the poietic generator from across the world, a small digital flame comes alive under my eyes. It’s like a global digital fireplace!

Then an idea came: Why not distribute this item in one form or another to fund the project? Obviously, the poietic generator is free, this object must also remaain free and everyone can tinker for by cheap following this manual. But nothing prevents those who want to buy it (fully assembled and configured) for a certain amount of money at their convenience in order to support the overall project. Say that the basic price is the hardware (approximately 80 € off screen) assembly (20 €) and port (depending on destination). The purchase price shall be at least 100 € + possibly some money as a gift (cf. DONATE button).

The PI raspberry can be connected to any display, screen or projector, in the most various configurations.
